Luxury Beach Bus

Just over the dunes from the beach you'll find this unique accommodation. A city bus in it's former life, it has been meticulously renovated to create a fun and luxurious space for you to rest and relax. Free Wifi, heat and aircon, a fully plumbed toilet and full size shower, luxury linens, smart t.v. and a kitchenette - all located in a quiet neighbourhood by the beach. We're just down the road from conveniences and a cafe and only 10 minutes from Whanganui City Centre. Free parking. Please note the access is down a flight of stairs from the parking space.

The sound of the waves in constant and relaxing. From the top of the stairs you have a magical view of the sunset. At night the milky way is just above for your stargazing pleasure. Our black sand beach with a view of Taranaki is just a 5 minute walk over the dunes. This location is so special. Close enough to town if you're here for work, but a quiet oasis of seaside nature to return to at the end of the day. If you're here for a holiday it's magic, year round! Bundle up for a wintery walk on the quiet beach or put your togs on and enjoy a dip in finer weather.

Whanganui is not typically on the tourist route, but there are so many things to see and do here. I've compiled a list in your guest book inside the bus.
